I ordered the Ray Special modified Ottertail canoe paddle in Cherry wood from Greg Fishell. It arrived on time, as promised, and I was thrilled at the made-to-order, handmade quality of this piece, and impressed by his thoughtful service and packaging. It's just beautiful and the design is exactly what I need for long paddles on mountain lakes. Not only will it get a lot of use, it is already an heirloom that I will treasure. Thank you so much, Greg.
